As a wine, I am not sure I am convinced by this effort. High acidity, slightly stringent and a muted nose being compensated by a higher dosage than usual.
It is pleasant enough with the usual suspects lurking in the background but they are rather dominated by a high acidity foreground. With the right food, this can be a pleasant but not as an aperitif. A Nexium tablet is highly recommended for those with reflux problem!!!!
Drink now to well 2028+. Not sure it will get much better though as the raw ingredients are simply not there.

A bottle to celebrate a new grandson ! This wine shows a pale straw color with a fine bead. The nose very primary with Delicious apples, lime,redcurrant, strawberry, brioche and nougat. The palate remains quite linear and intense with a central ball of lovely Pinot based fruits leading to a lifted acid and grape tannin finish. There is just a touch of harshness on the finish which surprises given the purity of the fruit but overall this is a very tasty Champagne.

Lovely. Perhaps slightly fading freshness in the top level fruit, but very pleasant overall.

At its peak, I'd say, soft yet substantial, rich, toasty, really harmonious
